.Sh DESCRIPTION
These functions convert to and from
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER
and
.Vt ASN1_ENUMERATED
objects.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get_uint64
and
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get_int64
store the value of
.Fa a
in
.Pf * Fa out_val
if successful.
.Pp
The deprecated function
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get
converts
.Fa a
to the
.Vt long
type.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_set_uint64 ,
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_set_int64 ,
and
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_set
set the type of
.Fa a
to
.Dv V_ASN1_INTEGER
or
.Dv V_ASN1_NEG_INTEGER
depending on the sign of
.Fa v
and set the value of
.Fa a
to
.Fa v .
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_cmp
compares the signed integer numbers represented by
.Fa a1
and
.Fa a2 .
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_dup
does exactly the same as
.Xr ASN1_STRING_dup 3
without providing any type safety,
except that it fails if the
.Xr ASN1_STRING_length 3
of
.Fa a
is 0.
.Pp
.Fn BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER
converts
.Fa bn
to an
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER .
If
.Fa ai
is
.Dv NULL ,
a new
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER
object is returned.
Otherwise, the existing object
.Fa ai
is used instead.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN
converts
.Fa ai
into a
.Vt BIGNUM .
If
.Fa bn
is
.Dv NULL ,
a new
.Vt BIGNUM
object is returned.
Otherwise, the existing object
.Fa bn
is used instead.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_get_int64 ,
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_get ,
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_set_int64 ,
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_set ,
.Fn BN_to_ASN1_ENUMERATED ,
and
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_to_BN
behave like their
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER
counterparts except that they operate on an
.Vt ASN1_ENUMERATED
object.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get_uint64
returns 1 in case of success or 0 if
.Fa a
is not of the type
.Dv V_ASN1_INTEGER
or greater than
.Dv UINT64_MAX .
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get_int64
returns 1 in case of success or 0 if
.Fa a
is not of the type
.Dv V_ASN1_INTEGER
or
.Dv V_ASN1_NEG_INTEGER ,
less than
.Dv INT64_MIN ,
or greater than
.Dv INT64_MAX .
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get
and
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_get
return the converted value, 0 if
.Fa a
is
.Dv NULL ,
or \-1 on error, which is ambiguous because \-1 is a legitimate
value for an
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER .
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_set_uint64 ,
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_set_int64 ,
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_set ,
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_set_int64 ,
and
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_set
return 1 for success or 0 for failure.
They only fail if a memory allocation error occurs.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_cmp
returns a value greater than, equal to, or less than 0
if the signed integer number represented by
.Fa a1
is greater than, equal to, or less than
the signed integer number represented by
.Fa a2 ,
respectively.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_dup
returns a pointer to a newly allocated
.Vt ASN1_STRING
structure or
.Dv NULL
if
.Fa a
is a
.Dv NULL
pointer, if the length of
.Fa a
is 0, or if memory allocation fails.
.Pp
.Fn BN_to_ASN1_INTEGER
and
.Fn BN_to_ASN1_ENUMERATED
return an
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER
or
.Vt ASN1_ENUMERATED
object, respectively, or
.Dv NULL
if an error occurs.
They only fail due to memory allocation errors.
.Pp
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN
and
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_to_BN
return a
.Vt BIGNUM
object of
.Dv NULL
if an error occurs.
They can fail if the passed type is incorrect (due to a programming error)
or due to memory allocation failures.

.Sh CAVEATS
In general an
.Vt ASN1_INTEGER
or
.Vt ASN1_ENUMERATED
type can contain an integer of almost arbitrary size
and so cannot always be represented by a C
.Vt long
type.
The ambiguous return values of
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_get
and
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_get
imply that these functions should be avoided if possible.
.Sh BUGS
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_cmp ,
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_dup ,
and
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_to_BN
do not check whether their arguments are really of the type
.Dv V_ASN1_INTEGER
or
.Dv V_ASN1_NEG_INTEGER .
They may report success even if their arguments are of a wrong type.
Consequently, even in case of success, the return value of
.Fn ASN1_INTEGER_dup
is not guaranteed to be of the type
.Dv V_ASN1_INTEGER
or
.Dv V_ASN1_NEG_INTEGER
either.
.Pp
Similarly,
.Fn ASN1_ENUMERATED_to_BN
does not check whether its argument is really of the type
.Dv V_ASN1_ENUMERATED
or
.Dv V_ASN1_NEG_ENUMERATED
and may report success even if the argument is of a wrong type.
